Chapter 56 A piece of paper in exchange for a concubine
"What are you going to do with it?"
Yu stared at the divorce application letter. This would be a huge handle for the prince to use when he was restored to the throne!
"It doesn't seem right for Madam to grant my mother the title of co-wife before this matter is settled."
Shen Lingshu solemnly closed the lid of the divorce application. She said slowly, "What if Madam regrets it and says I didn't do it?"
"So, please first make my mother a co-wife, enter her into the family tree, inform the elders of the clan, and then return her to you, Madam."
Shen Lingshu raised her hand and assured: "Madam, don't worry. After my mother becomes a co-wife, I will definitely return this divorce application to you."
“…”
Yu's face turned black with anger. This bitch was clearly playing dumb. She said sullenly, "Give it to me first, and I'll promote your mother to a co-wife and include her in the family tree. I won't break my promise!"
You got what you want, and you want to be a co-wife? Dream on!
Yu stared at her beautiful face. She should not have let her participate in the selection. She could not enter the Prince Lin's Mansion. How could she be so arrogant today?
“Chen Lingshu, helping your mother become a co-wife is not a one-day job, give me the things first.”
Yu suppressed the anger in her heart, looked at Shen Lingshu and said threateningly: "Your aunt and brother are in the mansion, I will also follow the Buddha's lead."
"Madam, you're not going to threaten me with my mother and brother, are you?"
Shen Lingshu looked innocent and didn't understand. She said in shock, "Forget it. If Madam wants to threaten me with the lives of my mother and brother, I can only risk my life to find the prince."
"I just don't know if my elder sister can still be the prince's concubine after the prince is restored to the throne if the news of her wish to divorce becomes public." Shen Lingshu seemed to still be worried about Shen Lingyi.
'Snap'
Yu slammed the table heavily and stared into her eyes viciously: "Just try and make a big fuss!"
"Anyway, my aunt and brother are in trouble, and I don't want to live anymore."
Shen Lingshu sighed, not afraid of Yu's threats at all. She lowered her head, stroked her belly and said, "Poor child in this belly, it's the prince's first child."
Yu was furious and glanced at Aunt Xi. Just as Aunt Xi was about to take action, Liu Si grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Aunt Xi, please don't move. If you hurt the prince's child, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"
Liu Si was very strong and pushed Nanny Xi away. She stood by Shen Lingshu like a door god.
“…”
Yu left angrily. Shen Lingshu, this bitch, actually dared to threaten her!
After getting on the carriage, Yu asked, "Is there any other solution?"
Nanny Xi fell silent and whispered, "Second Miss is really bold."
After all, back then, Song Fanghua was sick and dying, and it was Shen Lingshu who risked her life, knelt for three days, and finally went to the master and saved Song Fanghua.
“…”
Yu became angry again and glared at her fiercely.
"Madam, calm down."
Nanny Xi gently stroked her back and said, "The most urgent thing is to get this thing back quickly so that the young lady can continue to be the prince's concubine!"
Otherwise, even if the Crown Prince was restored to the throne, if he knew that Shen Lingyi had wanted to divorce, I'm afraid...
"Do I really have to make that bitch my second wife?" When Yu thought of this, she felt so angry that her chest ached. She had fought for most of her life, and at the end of her life, she had to let that bitch be her second wife?
"Madam, even if she's a co-wife, so what? Who in the mansion doesn't listen to you? Even if she's a co-wife, so what? Isn't it still the same as before?"
Nanny Xi whispered in her ear, "As long as the eldest daughter becomes the Crown Prince's concubine again, she, a concubine, can be crushed to death by the Madam like an ant."
“As for Shen Lingshu, Madam, do you think that since she is pregnant with twins, those concubines in the backyard of the palace are really not jealous?”
Nanny Xi's words slowly enlightened Yu. Yu's eyes brightened a little, and then she looked at Nanny Xi with appreciation and said, "You have thought it through."
A sinister glint flashed in Yu's eyes as she said, "The most important thing now is to get the divorce papers back so Lingyi doesn't have any worries."
"Go back home and quickly make that bitch your concubine." Yu said with a look of surprise. That bitch Song Fanghua seduced the master with just her pretty face!
…
Youlan Courtyard.
"Master, they are really going too far. They forced you to help them, and now they want you to take back the divorce application!"
Zhuxin spoke up for her master, saying that Madam Yu and the eldest lady only bullied her master.
“Zhu Xin, they have always been like this, don’t get angry for such people.” Shen Lingshu took a jujube flower pastry and stuffed it directly into her mouth, saying, “Sweet mouth.”
"master."
Zhu Xin's mouth was stuffed full, and she was still sobbing, "Master, please don't give it to me."
Shen Lingshu raised her eyes and put away Shen Lingyi's divorce application.
Sensing her thoughts, Zhu Xin quickly swallowed the jujube flower pastry in his mouth, then squatted down and said anxiously: "Master, this will be a handle for them in the future. If you give it to them, they will definitely not keep their word."
"Silly Zhuxin." Seeing that she was about to roll her eyes due to choking, Shen Lingshu handed her some water.
"Master, you don't really want to give it to me, do you?" Zhu Xin was very worried.
"A piece of paper in exchange for my mother's position as a co-wife is not a loss."
Shen Lingshu's slender hand knocked on the box, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "This is more than just Shen Lingyi's handle?"
Zhu Xin was stunned for a moment before she felt relieved and said, "It's good that the master knows what's going on."
"Zhu Xin, only by becoming a concubine and being included in the family tree, with me as your daughter and Xinghe around, can my mother not be sold off by the Yu family at will."
Shen Lingshu clearly remembered that in the script, Song Fanghua was wrongly accused of adultery by Yu and was directly sold into a brothel. In order not to implicate her daughter, Song Fanghua committed suicide on the spot.
When Shen Lingyi was forced to write the divorce application, it was also to exchange for a co-wife position, first to raise Song Fanghua's status, and then to consolidate Song Fanghua's position with Shen Changxing. It would not be easy for Yu to harm Song Fanghua as in the script.
Yihe Courtyard.
Hai Jiaren was half asleep when she heard Yindian sighing. It seemed as if she was whispering to Jindian, "Oh, if only the master had gotten pregnant a few months earlier. Once the master gave birth to the child, she would have been a concubine!"
"The master cannot control matters concerning the child," Jindian replied.
"That's right. Aunt Shen of Youlan Courtyard is so lucky. She is pregnant with two children at once. If she gives birth to two sons, then who will remember even if our master gives birth to a child?"
"I just feel unfair for the master. We clearly entered the mansion together. Concubine Shen harmed the master and served the prince first. Now she even got pregnant first."
"I heard that Aunt Shen is a concubine's daughter, but our master is a legitimate daughter!"
"If anyone wants to be promoted to concubine, it should be our master."
Yindian was so angry that she seemed to be speaking up for Hai Jiaren.
"Okay, the master is in poor health, so don't let her hear it, otherwise she will be in a bad mood." Jindian whispered and pulled Yindian away. Hai Jiaren, who was taking a nap on the couch, opened her eyes. Her hand was gently placed on her belly, and her mind was full of Yindian's words.
